    Notes 
    • In 1880 he was single and working on the WATTS farm in Heaths, Gibson County, TN. On the census he was shown as age 57, when he was actually 27, and furthermore mistranscribed as Mcseviore versus McLemore.

      He appears to have married first and second:

      McLemore, J. A. m. Hogan, Louisa in 1877 Gibson County, TN

      McLemore, J. A. m. Howell, Mary Jane in 1884 in Gibson County, TN (nee Langford, as she was said to have been previously married to Charles Howell)

      Third marriage to Louella McCaslin.

      The Rev. William P. McLemore shows that James died on 19 Apr 1938, and is buried in Medina, Gibson County, Tennessee. This matches the scan of his death certificate on his FindAGrave memorial page. His occupation was shown as "farmer" and his father as Charles McLemore, with mother not known. Informant was H. N. McLemor of Jackson, Tennessee.
